"Rastignac the Devil" is a science fiction novel about the world in the 22nd century by Philip Jose Farmer. Excerpt: After the Apocalyptic War, the decimated remnants of the French huddled in the Loire Valley were gradually squeezed between two new and growing nations. The Colossus to the north was unfriendly and obviously intended to absorb the little New France. The Colossus to the south was friendly and offered to take the weak state into its confederation of republics as a full partner.

Philip Jose Farmer was a master of the science fiction novella, and Rastignac is one of his most memorable creations. In this story, set in a distant future, a colony of French citizens decide to escape overcrowded Earth and set up a "New Gaul" on a distant planet. A unique device on the planet allows telepathy and empathy but also acts as a conscience and provides punishment for bad behavior.
